About the John Connell Reserve Master Plan 

To ensure we have a coordinated plan for the John Connell Reserve, we’re developing a Master Plan. The Master Plan will provide a consolidated future vision recognising the recreational, environmental and cultural values of the site.

Shaped collaboratively with local stakeholders and community, the Master Plan process will explore exciting opportunities to create a more inclusive, enjoyable and valuable place for everyone.
